Appended on 4 December 2019: Suggest, please go directly for an in-dept understanding of the Frontage of a house. Is it always the main door? Please refer to the attached resource: http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=6&mid=26954&new= For practical reasons, the smallest Asian sized door width is 35 inches. For European or American standard - should be 42 inches or 48 3/4 inches roughly within such a range. Commonsense approach is that if the width is larger; the larger clearance the door has to "swing" inwards. And imagine if the door size is 58 inches (one or two leaves) and if the door swings inwards; the foyer of the home has to be pretty wide to cater for this width. Furthermore, if the home is to be lived in and ifdoes have a family: again just imagine a little cute boy or girl 4 to 5 years old struggling to open or close the door not withstanding any high winds nor the weight of the door. Doors that are at least 1/2 hour fire rated doors ain't lightweight - for sure!

1. In Singapore, this fact is not widely recognized or publicized. 2. When I first began practicing Feng Shui many years ago, I was fascinated by the auspicious measurements of the main entrance doors in the First Generation HDB flats. 3. Disregarding the grille gate of this particular home, the width of the entrance is considered auspicious according to the Feng Shui Ruler. Even when taking into account the support frames on both sides of the main door, it remains auspicious. 4. The origins of this phenomenon are unknown. It is possible that it occurred unintentionally. It is likely that a Chinese furniture maker or manufacturer was assigned to design an entrance door and decided to base it on the measurements of the imperial Feng Shui ruler. 5. In the 2nd generation of HDB flats, there are single leaf doors that measure 35 inches, as well as larger doors with two leaves: one leaf is 42 inches and the other is smaller. The 42-inch measurement is still considered auspicious according to the Feng Shui ruler. 6. The height of the door is influenced by the type of floor tiles used, resulting in varying heights. Some homes in the past could only afford cement screed for the entire home, while others opted for thicker terrazzo tiles, mosaic, and even ceramic tiles. 7. The height, in terms of the Feng Shui ruler, is of lesser importance as the width is often the focal point for Qi. 8. Therefore, many homes with partitions often opt for either 42 inches or a maximum of 49 3/4 inches. Some partitions may have a smaller width of 35 inches. 9. In newer generation flats, particularly those built after the 1980s, a partition size of 42 inches will cover the main door, as the smaller leaf door is rarely opened. 10. The size of the main door should be determined based on the Feng Shui ruler (or the imperial carpentry ruler). 9.1. For a small apartment, such as the 1st generation HDB flats, a single leaf door should be 35 inches in total width. 9.2. Other widths to consider are 42 inches and 49 3/4 inches. The older generation - a single leaf door

1. Singaporeans really pray to all sorts of GODs. 2. While walking past a row of shop houses; this shop owner evidently prays to a pair of "striped tigers". 3. In the first picture; he has a pair of Qi Lin on each side of the front pillar. And in the middle; a worship altar on the floor. Notice the two different pairs of striped lions.... each with it's mouth full ... symbolic of bringing in wealth. 4. A percentage of mediums somehow; enact or even become "tiger god" in some instances. Usually, these people hope to get great wealth.

1. If you want to look youthful; in my opinion, never become a politician! 2. Just observe many hardworking Cabinet Minisiters and one realise; how fast they age! 3. Could this be one of the reasons, why so many smart persons don't bother to become politicians?

1. Some bright or primary colors if used at the wrong location may affect certain situations:- For example under the Flying star concept: Bright Yellow & or Bright Red@ location(s) especially those with #5 and/or #2 and/or #9 etc... can affect health - ranging from constant health issues to some needing operations. Bright Green and or Bright Blue @ location(s) with #3 and/or combined with WS#1 can affect relationships / marriage / family issues / lawsuits. While using Bright Blue in the kitchen can affect a woman's health and family wealth and if it also falls at Mountain Star MS#8 - will drown such luck. 2. Above are just some of the examples, I can quickly think of. 3. The most critical areas for 2010 are: Five Yellow at South-West Grand Duke at East-North-East, 60 Degrees And the Three Killings at North. 4. If you can do painting at South before Feb 14th, that is best, but if you can't at least; although it is #3 sector; the consolation is that it is not at the above three MAJOR concern areas.

In this story:- 1. Three boys: named ONE, TWO & THREE. 2. A unhappy mum in a dark home. 3. A new boyfriend who is RICH! 4. She yearns for GREENER pasture.....

I would like to seek clarification of my understanding of your advise through illustration provided. 1) In such case, are you recommending to remove all the lights and just leave 1 at the center of the wooden door? or place only a "red clothing in front of the wooden door will do? 1. Please re-read my earlier posting: Posted on: Tue, 19 Jan 2010, 22:00 PM, "5.

1. Please note that Period 8 ranges from 2004 to 2023. During the past few months, I being posting this link very often:- http://www.geomancy.net/resources/yearly-forecast/fortunes-2010.htm 2. Go check it out. 3. Must everything have a cure? In fact, in many instances, the commonsense cure is not to do it. We plan to put up a small business in front of the house, which is better, locate it in the Northeast or Northwest part. I'm East group, Kua4. The house was built in Period 8. 4. Please note that this is a free GENERAL advice forum.

These are some considerations: 1. If a sector also has good qi especially those coming in thru a window, good to open such windows to allow qi to flow into the home and when doing so, it does help the centrepoint. 2. Usually after heavy down-pour; good to regularly air the entire home e.g. open all "openings" if possible for a short-while - for qi to refresh into the home. 3. Some homes at the centrepoint has clear space, this is good for #8 at the centrepoint. But this is meant more for a home with 20 year flying star and when one wants to built the home from scratch. 4. If a sector has good star(s); and if one can spent time or activity at that sector; that is good. 5. Unfortunately, we have to accept that not all homes does have what I described under Para 3 and/or 4.

1. Effective Feng Shui is a holistic approach. Ruchir P. wrote: Hi , I have bedroom located in south west direction of house. The bedroom also has attached bathroom with toilet in south west direction of room. Is that good? 2. In two sentences, I really can't possible tell. As no Shapes and Forms nor Compass School of Feng Shui is used, here. 3. Holistic Feng Shui is about: 3.1. Enhancing good qi in a home and 3.2. Reducing or neutrasing bad qi in a home. 4. Your question is too general. 5. If youwant to find out whether Year of tiger 2010 is good or not, appreciate, if you can review this link:- http://www.geomancy.net/resources/yearly-forecast/fortunes-2010.htm

Yes. Casanova W. wrote: Master, Is there such a case of special birth chart whereby Fake extremely Strong birth chart or Fake extremely weak birth chart ? I mean one person unlucky elements become his lucky elements?

1. If you so interested in getting "perfect measurements" the easiest is to go purchase a Feng Shui ruler. Find out more about the measurements:- http://www.geomancy.net/resources/theories/fs-ruler.htm 2. Again, unfortunately, you make Feng Shui reallysounds so complicated: what with entire facade 15 meters etc... 3. Frankly, again, you are the one and only person; throughout the existence of this forum as far back as the 1996's that posts such ... 4. If you really are so into measurements, I sincerely advice you to go learn VASTU, the Indian art of "Feng Shui". 5. As in fact, last decade or so, there are some in India, which strictly build homes that strictly must fit precise measurements: room by room kind of situation. 6. Hey! Feng Shui or Chinese Art of Feng Shui is more practical. Only certain measurements, try nice to have. And even in the forbidden cities, the concept of 9 or 999 are very important. But to make sure that when we "Feng Shui" build a home, everything must fit Feng Shui measurements - is not practical. 7. Frankly, those who are too obsessed with Feng Shui and in Singapore, we thought that some are kiasu, but you are the ultimate "kaisee" fella. When I took the measurement of the facade from the ends of the perimeter wall and measurement of the steel door: 1) the entire facade is - 15meters 2) the driveway door - 4meters 3) smaller door for person's entrance - 1.5meter Is this size proportion to the facade?

Facing direction of a home does not necessarily mean that you need e.g. the main, front, door. You mentioned: "Our main door is a sliding glass door facing east. " Usually this should be the frontage or facing direction of your "home" especially if there is "clear space" at the front for qi to congregate. Again, it depends on any blockages e.g. sides are "neighbourhood buildings" etc... If the home is facing e.g. a lake vs the frontage is facing the roadway.. sometimes, the view of the lake could be the frontage. Need judgemental skills.

Yes, this is on a Free General Advice forum. Such detalied information, has to be analysed or looked at with reference to one's DD/MM/YY & HH.

Please refer to the following resources Part I - Facing Direction Of A Home http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=6&mid=15672&new= Part II - Facing Direction Of A Home http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=6&mid=15673&new= Again, this is the first time in my whole life where I encounter : steel doors, entrance, driveway door, smaller door and so many wordings on doors. Frankly, Feng Shui is not so complicated, but a newbie reading this will think that Feng Shui belongs to rocket-science. Susan J. wrote: Dear Master, Our steel doors (one smaller for person's entrance and driveway door for car's entrance) are in line with the perimeter wall; and also parallel to the door entrance to the living room. Which one is considered the main door of the house? 1) Is it the smaller door on the same line of the perimeter wall 2) or the door in the driveway on the same line of the perimeter wall 3) or the internal door attached to the structure of the house? What if the external door is facing North? the main entrance to the living room is facing East? Which direction should be used in determining the facing of the house?

Frankly, even for Catholics, why is there so much concern of taboos especially for dismantling and post mantling? For regilious matters, since you are Catholic, you easily just approach your church elders (fathers or sisters) if you are still so concern about such things.

1. Frankly, there is no major issue, just continue to safe-keep the Virgin Mary figure and occassionally remind the previous owner to remove it since they are the onces that request for it's return. 2. If you want to, as a last resort, tell them that say by two months time; if it is not collected, then you have no choice but to dispose of it. 3. Many Christians often mistake the Catholic practise of "respecting" Virgin Mary. When Catholics "pray" to Virgin Mary, it is just a mark of respect for the mother of Jesus, that's all. It's a pity that many Christian elders use this as "ammunition" that this is some kind of "devil worship" - which frankly, in my opinion is not true. 4. For example, in Singapore, it is truly a pity. Some parents remain free-thinkers or buddhist. And their children subsequently converted into Christianity. And these children are told and even "refuse" to hold joss-sticks to offer their last prayers to their deceased parent. Catholics are more open, and if told to do so, they do so willingly. Holding joss-sticks to the dead to many Chinese is just a mark of respect and not worship in this sense. 5. In my opinion, I feel that amongst all; the Catholics are the most tolerant amongst all "Chirstians". Sorry, for the side-track.

1. For the lay person, please use the simple to understand summary and the pre analysed information e.g. auspicious, inauspicious, average, mixed blessings etc. 2. For paid reports where we provide expert help; we use such information (footnotes) if necessary to rank or fine tune our recommendations for our clients. For free reports, as mentioned earlier, use the easy to understand information: for example, things like auspicious, average and even very inauspicious is clear-cut already. 3. Everything in the free report is similar to the paid report except no hourly timing analysis is given.

1. For religious altar: 1.1. Often some bring it into the new home a few days earlier. For example; every 1st day of each lunar month (expect many don't like the 7th month) and/or the 15th day of each lunar month are good days. No need even to use other methods to determine which is a good day to bring it in. 1.2. Of course, the link you had mentioned showing one's good dates are equally good days also to bring them in. 1.3. If one intends to bring in a completely brand new "god" e.g. Quan Yin can always do so after move-in and on either the 1st day or 15th day of each lunar month as mentioned under Para 1.1. 1.4. Else, if one's existing home already has a god, then if there is a new altar, then this item should be the first to go into the home. Or if one reuse an existing altar; then bring in the altar at the same time and arrange it / place the god in it's proper place first. 2. It is nice to bring in the god(s) during the yang timing. 3. Moving-in furnitures can be done during the course of the day or as I had mentioned in a recently enquiry; even these items can be brought in several days earlier.... no issue. 4. Usually, open the door throw in the pineapple. (My move-in procedure does not use rice and salt - only the first time open door procedure). Then move in the altar. Open the windows / tap water; and then move in other essential items. 5. Frankly, para 4 is non religious nor rocket-science stuff. If one does anything out of the above sequence except for the priority given to the altar, no major issue.

1. Further to what I had mentioned, even the country with one of the largest population and the country where all Chinese come from celebrates Chinese New Year from 14 Febto 16 Feb: TheSpring Festival. http://www.worldtravelguide.net/country/58/public_holidays/Far-East-Asia/China.html 2. From the above link, the mother of all Chinese culture also uses purely the Lunar calendar and not Xia (Hsia - seasonal) calendar. 4 February 2010 is no where to be found although it is Xia calendar's Start of Spring. 3. In fact, Taiwan, which has the largest pool of Chinese outside of China does not even consider 4th February anywhere in their calendar as a holiday. Taiwan has the longest celebration of Chinese New Year:- http://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/?year=2010&country=71 As this link shows, Taiwan celebrates Chinese New Year from the eve 13th February to 17 February 2010. 4. The morale of the story: the factsspeak for themselves. And 14th Feburary is truly the official recognised date for the 1st day of Chinese NewYear for China, Singapore,Malaysia, Taiwan, Hong Kong. And these countries coverapproximately 80 percent or moreof all Chinese in the world.
